Dec 3, 2013I have a workbook with the following sheets i do not want to hide called "Detailed Template", "INTERFACES", "STATUS".
I then have a number of worksheets which have their names as cell addresses i.e. "E4", "E5", "D4", "F4", "G7" and so on.
I would like to hide all worksheets (except the 3 mentioned at the top [which are sheets 1-3]) and any which contain say the value of '4'. This value is defined by a cell in the "INTERFACES" worksheet say 'A1' for example.
I want the macro to be able to automatically do this for which ever value is in 'A1'. So if it were to change to '7' it would hide every sheet that doesn't contain '7' in the name.
Macro To Protect Sheets
Mar 20, 2008I have a workbook with some sheets password protected and other sheets not protected.
I have a macro that unprotects the sheets, but it requires the password to be typed multiple times.
I want to put the password into the macro so it doesn't require manual entry of the password lots of times.
Each sheet has the same password, so I would expect to enter it for the first sheet only.
What I have came from a simple macro recorder selecting each sheet in turn:
Sheets("wages").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Sheets("Comparative").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect

Protect Or Lock Specific Cells Independently Through Button
Apr 20, 2008I have the following question: I attached my file. In sheet "boekhouding" I want every cell in column H to contain a button that locks that specific row. So I can't accidently change the dropdownmenu for that row.
I also have some sort of strange problem in worksheet "Rekeningen", Range D1-D5 is named "Grootboek" were it should be named uitgaven. I can't change the name, but it doesn't seem to matter in worksheet rekeningen (the drop down menu for uitgaven works normally), what is wrong here?
How To Protect Multiple Sheets In Workbook
Jun 19, 2006How to protect multiple sheets in a workbook and not having to protect them 1 by 1. I have copied and pasted all the different macro's/visual basic script that has been posted for that purpose, but I can't get it to work and I'm always getting an error. The error from visual basic says "compile error: invalid outside procedure" and then the visual basic screen shows the following:
Range ("AM52")
If Ans >= 0 Then
"+."
It does not like the "AM52" part because it is highlighted in the error message.
Also, the error I get from recording my own macro step by step is "Run time error 40036" from visual basic.

Macro: Protect & Unprotect Sheets
Nov 9, 2006Is there an easy way (using a macro) to unprotect and protect sheets?
Most sheets in a certain workbook are protected except a few cells that are open for manual entry. Because I have links to other cells in other workbooks, I must unprotect those sheets/fields before I can edit the links. And I MUST ensure all sheets are protected again when I'm done with my work.
Also, is it possible to password-protect that specific macro so I'm the only one who can run it to unprotect and protect?
Unprotect & Protect All Sheets With Password
Dec 21, 2006I have a series of workbooks where multiple users are entering data. Most of the cells are locked, and the worksheets are password protected. From time to time, I have to make global changes to all the workbooks. I've recorded a macro to open all the workbooks, but now, I'm running into a problem because for speed, I'd like to unprotect the worksheets and "re-protect" them without having to enter the password 3 million times (exagerration, but not much). What is the proper syntax of code to have VBA enter the password automatically (it is the same for all sheets).

Password Protect Multiple Sheets With Macro
Jul 12, 2013I have a spreadsheet with over a hundred tabs, each of which need to be password protected (same password).
I found code on CFO.com that got me half way there. It protects all the spreadsheets, but it does not password protect the macro itself, meaning that anybody can step into the macro and unlock everything at the click of a button.
The code looks like this.
VB:

ws.Protect Password:="secret123"
Next ws
MsgBox "All Worksheets Protected"

What can I do to prevent people from stepping into the macro, or prompt a password to actually use the macro itself?

How To Protect Cells/columns In Multiple Sheets In A Workbook
Sep 9, 2009I'm trying to protect the contents of columns in multiple sheets in a workbook. I've tried to group the columns ( - months, i.e. sept, oct, nov 09 through to march 10) but when I go to Protection options the 'sheet' protection option is not available, all I can do is protect or unprotect the entire workbook.
I've also tried to protect the workbook, but individually set the specific columns in each sheet to be protected (repetitious but seemingly unavoidable), but this doesn't work well either as there's now a mix of a protected workbook and protected columns, both with individually set passwords to unprotect... which seems a bit silly.
There must be a way around this? - the columns are H, J, K and L, and the entire contents of the summary sheet '2009-10 Financial Year'... basically I'd like to be able to protect all of the contents of all of the cells here, ideally just with one password.
Excel 2013 :: Speed Protect / Unprotect Sheets
Apr 29, 2014I experience it takes a lot of time to protect/unprotect sheets in Excel 2013. However, only if the operation is made WITH PASSWORD. This was not the case in Excel 2007. Operation was fast independent with/witout password.
In attached file I have made an example where the time to protect/unprotect 25 sheets is investigated. Can make the test in Excel2013 to double check it is not my computer causing the time delay.
Result test - 25 sheets:
Protect - No password: 0,02 s
Unprotect - No password: 0,06 s
Protect - With password: 6,9 s
Unprotect - With password: 6,9 s
Enable Macro & EnableEvents Problem To Protect Sheets
Mar 21, 2007I am trying to crack away to protect my workbook, by forcing users the enable macros on launching.
What I am trying to do is if Workbook_BeforeSave runs a routine called DoIt. This calls HideAll, saves, then calls ShowAll al whilst not updating. (ie so the user is non the wiser and the computer does not asked to save again if no changes are made).
The reason I am trying this is so that if the user closes the document, it will not ask them again to save. Instead it has preserved the state in the HideAll place (ie all important worksheets are VeryHidden.
It is only by enabling Macros on open can the ShowAll make them visible again.
Below is the code I am using and it works, except it seems the Application.EnableEvents = False in the DoIt macro does not seem to be doing what it should.
very dearly love to get an answer as it is driving me up the wall!
Module 1:
Public bIsClosing As Boolean
Dim wsSheet As Worksheet
Sub HideAll()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each wsSheet In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets

wsSheet.Visible = xlSheetVisible
Else
wsSheet.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End If
Next wsSheet

Excel 2003 :: Unprotect And Protect Multiple Works Sheets With Macro?
Feb 25, 2008I have an annual leave (vacation) work book with a summary page work sheet and separate work sheets for each month i.e. Jan, Feb, Mar.....to......Dec. In order to protect the formulas I have protected them by allowing only access to the input cells on each work sheet and the protect each work sheet.
When someone either joins or leaves the team I have to manually unprotect each sheet and protect again when I have completed the amendments to each of the 13 tabs.
macro code I would need to unprotect all the works sheets in one go (as I use the same password for all the sheets) and reset the passwords (protect) the sheets with more macro code.
I will be running the two macros from my own personal.xls file and ideally they would be fully automatic i.e. I would not need to input the passwords in to unlock or lock the work sheets as the password would be written in the code already

Is there also a way to do this which won't be affected by Excel disabling all Macros when the application initially opens.
Move Specific Data From Sheets To Other Sheets
Aug 19, 2008Need to move data from 14 sheets (1 pay period=14 days)(2 showing on attachment for example purposes) to time cards for each person (number of employees will vary).
Key data to move to the time card is the date of the hours, #Reg Hours, #OT hours, the ticket# and job# for those hours.(ie Chris Adams Aug 15, need Chris's Reg and OT hours (8 Reg and 2 OT) on his time sheet, and the corresponding ticket number and job number (in this case from I1, I2).
Unknown number of ticket/job numbers, but the pattern of cell entries will remain the same along the top of the date sheets.(starting at I1, then L1, O1, the next would be R1)
Unknown number of employees but they will continue filling down where the names are on the date sheets (column A). Each employee would have a time card sheet as well.
